I remember first seeing the trailers for “Legally Blonde” when the movie came out in 2001; they promised some laughs, but overall, I wasn’t impressed and did not go to see the movie. Elle, the main character, seemed too “girly” for me: a fashion-freak blonde wearing pink & high …

This must be one of the filthiest comedy flicks out there - if I may call it comedy; make it one bit dirtier, and you’d be talking about porn. I am shocked to see some established reviewers praise this trash as not only funny but “sweet” and even “innocent.” …

The Dark Night lives up to all of the hype surrounding its release and deserves the overwhelming amount of money it earned. The open sequence is a perfect introduction to the main villain of the movie, the Joker. A bank heist …

Many current science fiction movies rely heavily on special effects and don’t always have the best scripts. Those movie producers should do more research into The Day the Earth Stood Still.

I once again tried to watch the movie Hollywood Land last night and, once again, I found myself turning the movie off. I just cannot get through this film.
